It's that time of year again when the Summer Clubs are running. I've been to Redwood School who are providing the venue for the Summer Club for PMLD (Profound Multiple Learning Difficulties) children in Rochdale.
This is, I think, the third year I've been able to take along my Bag Books selection http://www.bagbooks.org/
They are incredible multi sensory stories specially designed for PMLD children. I like to think I'm getting really experienced storytelling with them now.
Today it was C.J. The Library Cat, there were about a dozen children and the same number of carers. I saw a smile on everyones face today, so I consider that a job well done. The biggest smiles came from the part of the story where the snow is covering C.J. At that point each child is draped with a net curtain with mini "snowballs" sewn to it. Second best result today was the reaction to the squeaky toys, where C.J. hides in the children's library.
I always feel I've really achieved something when I see the children enjoying the story so much.
